Triberg is the most visited destination in the Black Forest and for good reason.  The town plays host to a line of souvenir, cuckoo clock, and craft stores several hundred meters long.  Cafes, bakeries, and restaurants all display signs offering "authentic" Black Forest cake to visitors.  Make sure you taste this exquisite chocolate cake while you are there--you won't be dissappointed!

Black Forest Cake

The main sights around town are its tourist shopping district, the Gutach River Wasserfall, and the Maria in der Tanne baroque church.

Triberg Strip

Be forewarned, this forest town is not for the faint of heart.  The town lies on steep hills, so bring comfortable shoes and come in good physical condition.  Take a look at our Triberg Map to get directions to the town and to see the Gutach River hiking route.
